Chapter 401: I Want a Dog, Not a Human [Second Update]
Chungcheong-do, North Korea, outside Hongju City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just as Chen Ming was opening his mind, the Fuhan army on Jeju Island, together with five Korean rebels, totaling more than 10,000 people, floated across half of Korea from Jeju Island to Jeju Island - Chungcheong-do was just below Gyeonggi Province in North Korea - and suddenly appeared in front of Hongju Qing army and Korean troops.
The latter numbered only a little over 10,000, but the Qing army had only a few 2,000 men.
With the landing of the Fu Han army in southern Liaoning last year, the Qing army, which was on fire in the backyard, hurriedly dispatched its elite back to Shengjing, but they were unable to form a strong threat in the face of the defense of the Fu Han army. In particular, the Tianjin Naval Division of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was defeated and lost after a battle with the Naval Division of the Fu Han Army on Dachangshan Island. More than half of the main warships were lit by the naval division of the Fu Han Army, which was relatively inferior to the warships, and used rockets to set fire.
The defeated and fleeing Qing army sailors did not even dare to wait for the nest of Tianjin, and first retreated to the Yalu River, and then retreated to Jianghua Island.
Therefore, it is natural that the Fu Han army and the Korean rebels, more than 10,000 Lu Yong, and 200 ships of all sizes, a considerable number of which are transport ships, floated to the sea to kill Chungcheong-do without any obstacles.
The elite of the Qing army has been called back, and most of the rest are the bannermen recruited in the northeast, although the total strength has risen instead of falling, but the overall combat power has definitely declined. Then there was a large number of vassal armies, that is, Korean surrenders. After these people followed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, their small lives were much more comfortable than before. And the Korean volunteers are so bad that they can't even do these North Korean surrenders.
After the Manchu Qing put an end to the first batch of burning, killing, and plundering, the oppression of the Korean people eased a lot. However, according to the internal line of Korea, at least 500,000 Koreans in the current northeast have become slaves who grow grain for the Manchus.
Last winter, a batch of grain was shipped to Beijing from outside the Guanxi Province, although the quantity was only a small 200,000 quintals.
And this year, if the Manchus continue to captivate the Korean people to cultivate in the northeast, hehe, the result will be terrible.
Therefore, as early as a few years ago, the Dadu Governor's Office formulated a guerrilla plan along the Korean line, not only for North and South Korea, but also for the marine troops of the Han Army and the Navy Division when necessary, but also to the north from the coast of Liaodong, not to Shengjing, but to sweep and sweep Phoenix City, Xiuyan Hall, and even the area of Jinzhou Prefecture.
The Fu Han army lived on the sea, and in Liaodong except for Ninghai, there was no foothold at all, and how many troops could the Manchu Qing forces in the northeast be gathered after several draws? Able to be carefully deployed along a thousand-mile coast? It's simply not possible.
For example, now, Hongju in Chungcheong Province, which is an important agricultural area in South Korea, has only 2,000 Qing soldiers. In Cheongju [Chungcheong's Qing], not far from Hongzhou, there were only a few thousand Qing soldiers, and the rest were all Korean surrenders. The Qing army also knew the threat of the Fu Han army to the coastal areas, so the Hongzhou garrison near the sea was much stronger than the Qingzhou garrison, which was more important.
The Marine Corps led by Deng Yun had the strength of a regiment, but except for the old Marine Battalion, the other troops were all new recruits. This is a marine unit quickly formed by the Fu Han Army, which has changed the original practice of selecting the best among the best and wantonly recruiting coastal fishermen, so most of the marine battalions of various departments have been expanded into marine regiments, but their combat effectiveness has not been greatly strengthened. The Fu Han army, accompanied by tens of thousands of chaotic Korean rebels, took two days to rush to the outside of Hongzhou. The Qing army, whose local ruling foundation was extremely unstable, seems to have discovered the Fu Han army and the Korean rebel army at this time.
The Fu Han army and the Korean rebel army stabbed twenty or thirty miles outside the city, and the Qing army inside did not squat in the city and suffocated.
North Korea has not heard of war for more than 100 years, Hongzhou City itself is in tatters, last year the Qing army killed, an attack, and the head of Hongzhou City was bald. Such a city is purely a façade. If the Qing army stayed in the city, the artillery of the Fu Han army blocked the four gates, and the cannonballs bombarded the small Hongzhou City, and they would be finished.
The name of the Qing general in charge of guarding Hongzhou is Shu Ke, and he has not fought with the large army of the Fu Han army, but his father and brother have died in the hands of the Fu Han army, and he has a good understanding of the combat mode of the Fu Han army, because he wants revenge. How can you do without understanding the enemy.
Shu Ke knew that the Fu Han army had fierce combat firepower, and even if the current troops were just a combination of them and Korean waste wood, he did not dare to take it lightly. As soon as they received the urgent report, they took the lead in pulling the team out of the city and built a barracks to wait for the enemy.
The Qing army's camp was three or four miles away from Hongzhou City, and Deng Yun used a telescope to roughly observe the Qing army that was camping outside the city. But looking at the fact that although their entire camp was noisy, there was still order, and it could be seen that the Qing general who commanded the army still had a certain military quality. It is simply not comparable to the North Korean army encountered in Jeolla Province.
The Qing army has now abandoned Jeolla Province, and their forces are insufficient. The Korean rebels who indulged in the surrender of Korean troops and the Korean rebels in the coastal areas who received assistance from the Han army repeatedly strangled and fought, while the Qing army was short of troops, and the strength of the Han army was even less.
The regular marine troops under Chen Dai and Shi Xinxiong were only one of Deng Yun's troops, and they were counted as 2,000 people. Except for the sailors, they are not marines on the ships of the Western Navy, and if they go ashore, they are not much better than the bandits.
"It's a bit good, I've seen blood again in the past two years, and I'm still quite disciplined. It's much better than those sticks and scraps. "Deng Yun's position is just a regimental leader, and the other five-way Korean rebels don't mention the generals, generals, and herdsmen they now boast of, but only their previous names, in terms of Kim Ki-dae, that is the general of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion of the Korean Forbidden Army. And the other Hong Sang-young was the superintendent of the Guard Office who was in charge of the defense of Ganghwa Island with Kim Ki-dae. The other three roads, all the way to the soldiers and horses, all the way to the water division of ten thousand households, and one is the senator of the North Korean household Cao [household department], all of them are first, second, and third grade members, all of whom are awesome and coaxing. But now they all have to listen to the command of Deng Yunxiao's regiment, and there is no doubt about it. Facts are better than people!
"Why do I think ......, this Qing army camped has more rules than us." The camps of the two armies were seven or eight miles apart, and there was a small river in between, and there was a brick and wood bridge over the river. This small river is closer to the Fu Han army, and the camp is less than two miles away from the river.
No troops were sent on either side to test it, for it was getting dark.
Both sides are waiting for tomorrow's decisive battle.
According to the intelligence transmitted from the inside of North Korea a few days ago, the Qing army in Hongzhou rode 2,000 pace, including four or five hundred horses, and the answer given by the North Korean stick was that the horse shooting was sharp and fearless. When the two armies attacked Hongzhou, a rebel army of four or five thousand people was directly broken up by this Qing cavalry, and then this Qing army horse team immediately defeated another Korean army of more than 3,000 people. Nearly 1,000 enemies were killed, and few were killed or wounded. Be in awe of the North Korean stick!
And the other more than 1,000 Qing troops, these people are full of Han, or there are banners and Han. The latter is the Han people who secretly went to the Northeast for a hundred years to beg for a living, and then took root little by little. Although the 'Guandong' was officially opened in the late Qing Dynasty, it does not mean that the Han people in Shandong and Hebei did not cross the border in the previous 200 years.
-- After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the ethnic hierarchy and segregation system were implemented, and the Han people were strictly forbidden to enter the "land of Longxing" in the northeast to cultivate and colonize -- a ban on customs was promulgated. Shunzhi once warned the Manchurian aristocracy to retreat to the Kwantung region at the end of the road. The Manchu Qing Dynasty also caused a sharp decline in the population of the Kwantung region, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty used the excuse of "the place where the ancestors visited the king" to protect the "benefits of the mountains and the Pearl River", and implemented a ban policy on the Kwantung for a long time. At the beginning of Shunzhi, more than 1,000 kilometers of "wicker side" fence wall were repaired in sections - the Northeast Great Wall (wicker side wall, willow wall, willow city, strip side), which was completed in the middle of Kangxi.
When the Manchu Qing Dynasty attacked Korea, almost all the soldiers recruited in the northeast were bannermen at the beginning, but after the Han army landed in southern Liaoning, a large number of elite Qing troops returned, and the people and horses who filled in were mixed with Han banners. Maybe it won't be long before these people will be included in the Han military flag, or the coat flag.
It's just that these people surrendered troops relative to North Korea and are well-equipped. Whether it is old-fashioned leather armor, or a small amount of iron armor made in North Korea, or North Korean cotton armor captured on the battlefield, it is basically one piece per person. With the strength of their 2,000-foot cavalry, with so many Korean troops, if the Fu Han army did not intervene, they would indeed have the ability to suppress Hongzhou.
Early the next morning, the armies on both sides hastily finished their meals and lined up outside the camp. Hundreds of Korean volunteers, who had barely slept all night, dragged a long wooden discharge onto the river, and in the blink of an eye, a channel of more than 100 meters was laid on the river.
The Qing army in Korea was very arrogant, just like the Manchu Eight Banner Army when it first entered the customs, dozens of people looked at the heads of the Korean rebels of 1,000 people. However, today is a little different, the camp no longer has the relaxed atmosphere that used to crush the Korean rebels, and the Korean soldiers are not earless, especially some officers who lead the troops, and the news is also very well-informed. Today, it is not only the Korean rebels who came to Hongzhou, but also a wave of Han army. These people did not dare to win easily even the most elite new army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was ten or a hundred times more difficult to fight than the most elite Korean rebels.
Of course, the 'Qing army' that took the lead will not be a genuine Qing army, but a surrendered Korean surrendered army. However, there is also a distinction between inside and outside the North Korean troops, for Shu Ke, it is natural that those North Korean troops who have shaved their braids are closer, and those North Korean troops who still have their hair are cannon fodder to take the lead.
The Manchu Qing had already issued a shaving order in Korea, probably because they knew that their strength was insufficient, and they did not have a tough attitude like Dolgon after entering the customs, but learned a trick of the Han army - the heavy tax that was not collected without shaving the hair.
A wave of North Korean pigtailed officers led by Min Hongho looked at the North Korean soldiers who had not yet shaved their hair with a smug and complicated gaze, and a feeling of pleasure surged in his chest. Let you not shave your hair? Make your grandson's disobedience? And look at our braids with fucking contempt. Hmph, I'm going to let you know today - how to learn to be obedient!
Deng Yun looked at the Qing army's infantry formation, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a sarcastic smile.
Sure enough, the North Korean soldiers who did not shave their hair were used as cannon fodder, and later the North Korean soldiers who had shaved their hair were used, and then the Qing army was genuine.
"Beep ......"
The shrill sound of the whistle sounded, and Deng Yun waved his hand. Two battalions of the Fuhan Army Marine Corps took the lead. They walked steadily across the bridges and wooden platoons on the river to the opposite bank, and behind them were the mortar artillery units that accompanied the army.
The roads of North Korea were worse than those of the Manchus, and there were no large livestock on the shore, cattle, horses, donkeys and mules were all taken away by the Manchus, and the cannons of the Fu Han army were left on the warships, and only a few small and medium-sized mortars were used with the army, as well as the two-pound cannons that had long been abandoned by the Fu Han army.
This was cast by the Fuhan Army on Jeju Island. Because the roads in North Korea are too inconvenient for heavy artillery to travel, it is difficult to move not to mention ten-pound guns, twelve-pound guns, or even five-pound guns. The three-pound cannon can't go far, only the smaller two-pound cannon.
As a former Korean general, Park Jishan also ridiculed the Manchu Qing Dynasty and praised the strength of the Han army. But he didn't have it, and today this power was up to him to taste it himself.
It has been more than a year since the Fu Han army intervened in the Korean war, and the naval division was invincible, which became the recognized recognition of the Fu Han army from top to bottom in Korea. The land troops of the Fu Han Army are few in number, sharp in guns, resolute and courageous, which is also famous. At the beginning of the battle of Ganghwa Island, Deng Yun led the landing battalion to rescue part of the Korean forbidden army, and even rescued the Korean concubines.
At present, this level is difficult, and if it is not good, the two thousand people on hand today may be consumed.
In troubled times, there are soldiers to have everything. If there are no soldiers, they are pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.
Park Jishan deeply understands this, in troubled times, the army is his own capital, and he is not a fart if he loses the army. But he couldn't resist all this, the infantry cavalry led by Shu Ke was behind him, and as long as he dared to disobey, he was afraid that he would be crushed into powder by the Manchu iron cavalry immediately. And after leaving the Manchu Qing Dynasty, can he still return to the Korean rebels? One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and looking back is already a hundred years old.
But there's no time for him to think further. The Fu Han army on the opposite side had already finished its formation, and some of the artillery had crossed the bridge. The two neat arrays were slowly moving, and the side that came out earlier than the Fu Han army was still arranging in a chaotic formation.
However, just when Park Jishan thought that his first battle was about to be ravaged, the dense footsteps of Sasha suddenly sounded behind the Fuhan army, and a large number of Korean rebels walked across the small river, and Kim Ki-dae, the most 'promoted' by the Fuhan army of the five Korean rebel armies, led his 2,000 men directly through the two battalions of the Fuhan army array.
Park Ji-sun's first battle was not the Fu Han army, but Kim Ki-dae. Just like the Qing army, the first task of the Fu Han army was also to press the formation.
Four two-pound cannons were pushed to the forefront of his army by Jinji's army, and the explosion of "boom, boom, boom ......" sounded.
In several battles between the Marine Corps and the Qing Army in Korea, artillery has always been the protagonist of the war. The Korean rebels did the same, no matter how far apart their artillery was from the Han army.
But such firepower is enough for the North Korean troops.
The Qing army would not use its precious artillery power on the Korean troops who were like waste wood. And their own will to fight is so weak.
The ultimate firing range of the two-pound cannon was only four or five hundred meters, and Park Jishan's men were all exclaimed, not because the four shells had already hit their array, but because they were frightened by the sound of the cannon. Their formation was obviously a little chaotic, but it was largely maintained under the strong pressure of the officers.
The drums behind him were still ringing, and Park Ji-seonjun could only continue to move forward.
When the distance between the two armies was reduced to 100 zhang, the four two-pound guns opened fire again. One of the four iron eggs missed directly, and one passed over the heads of the Korean soldiers, but the other two all fell into their formation.
The power of the two-catty cannon is far less powerful than the five-catty cannon, and it can plow a bloody path in the dense queue, but it also gives Park Jishanjun a blow. Many people hesitated and stopped thinking about moving forward, but under the shouts of the officers and the deterrence of the troops supervising the battle in the rear, these people reluctantly continued to move forward.
They're a lot faster. Because fools also know that if you walk slowly, you will only get more shells. But it also made their array gradually chaotic.
"Boom, boom, boom......" shells sounded in another wave.
"Knock knock knock......" At this time, the sound of drums also sounded behind the Korean rebels. At this time, even if there was no drum behind him, he wanted to swing forward. "Attack, kill, ......" pulled out and came, and Kim Ki shouted loudly.
The two thousand Jinji rebel army, forming six arrays of large and small, like a huge giant, rushed towards Park Jishan's army.
Four two-pound guns played the final round......
After a not very fierce rush, Park Jishan's army was undoubtedly defeated. Shuk didn't care about Park Jiseon's loss at all. Compared with the defeat of Park Jiseon's army, if he can take the opportunity of Kim Ki's big attack to kill this leading Korean rebel army in one fell swoop, it will be profitable. "Idiot." Shuck put away the telescope in his hand and waved his hand gently. The Korean rebels on the opposite side were really pig-brained, and they really killed the defeated soldiers......
"Da ......" four or five hundred cavalry rode out on horseback.
The dust and smoke raised by the horse's hooves immediately aroused Deng Yun's idea. The latter's banner stood on a small hill that was not very high, and the deputy beside him immediately shouted after seeing through the binoculars that it was the Qing army's horse team: "Not good." Kim Ki-dae is going to suffer! ”
"Adults quickly send troops to rescue ......"
The rest of the group's words were swallowed back by him, because the expression he saw Deng Yun was a calm and unfluctuating face.
"Save what?"
"I told Kim Ki-dae before that after repelling the surrendered troops, he immediately collected the whole army, what about him?"
"Now he was killed by the horse team, and he deserves to be unlucky."
What the Fu Han Army wants is an obedient dog, not a person who has its own attention. Since Kim Ki-dae is disobedient, he deserves to suffer. This is the same as training a dog, if you don't obey, you will be beaten, and if you beat more, the dog will have a memory.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty made a lot of money in Korea, but the Fu Han army fell into a bottomless pit, and no matter how much money, food, and ordnance there was, it was not enough for North Korea. If you can't raise a group of obedient dogs, isn't it a big loss?
Eun Yan Jun Lee Hae, Trillium Jun Lee Jin, Eun Quanjun Yi Yu, and now all three of them have rushed to Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province. Li Qi is already dead and has not left a son. Then the three of them, as the blood of Zhuang Xian's sons, are the only descendants of the Li Dynasty royal family when Li Qi is dead, and they are also the most qualified to compete for the Korean throne. Therefore, they must all establish meritorious deeds in the Restoration War and win popularity, otherwise how can they rightfully inherit the throne? - Scene words!
In this case, the Fu Han army should be more attentive to the various Korean rebels who are still attached to them. The means must not only be gentle, but also strong.
Li Hui, Li Zhen, Li Zhen, the appearance of these three people made them gather a group of rebels around them, even though the youngest among them, Enquanjun Li Zhen was only twelve years old, Trillium Jun Li Zhen was only seventeen years old, and Enyanjun Li Zhen was one year older.
"Send Li Yuanbin and Kim Zhongxiaojun to respond, followed by Hong Sang-young and Choi Jin-hee."
After waiting for two minutes, he saw that the Qing army's horse team was about to rush to Jinji's army, and the latter was gathering troops in a panic, so Deng Yun gave the order. As for whether the two Korean rebels can force the Qing army's horse team to retreat, it's not that Deng Yun looks down on the Qing army, in the case of the two thousand Fu Han army's suppression of the formation, if the Qing army's horse team is entangled with the Korean rebel army, it won't take long, a quarter of an hour is enough, Deng Yun will dare to leave this horse team forever. (To be continued.) )
